		The M56 Smart Gun system is a general-purpose automatic squad support weapon consisting of three major components: the operator's combat harness; the articulation arm; and the gun itself.
		To prep the M56 for combat, operators must first don the combat harness, which is constructed from composite micromesh ballistic armor and is heavily padded to ease chafing at the shoulders and hips.
		The gun itself is clipped and secured to the end of the arm, which is gyrostabilised and provides additional recoil dampening to keep the gun steady while the operator is walking or running.

		Most sites list the Smart Gun as being a light squad machine gun chambered for the M250 series 10mm X 28 explosive-tipped round, which does fit...it's the same caliber as the Pulse Rifle, but designed to function as a sustained-fire support weapon.
		As for the Smart Gun, you are correct in stating that it uses a different round than the Pulse Rifle.
		The Smart Gun creating one large hole only works when the target isn't moving (basically pinned up they won't move), then add that the gunner has to be pretty good maintaining posture due to recoil aswell as standing still and then add the environmetal circumstances not affecting the bullet.

	StarDestroyer.Net BBS :: View topic - Is the smart gun from 'Aliens' practical?
		Machine Guns are spray and pray weapons designed to throw out a huge volume of fire with which to take out the target.
		All in all I'd say a smart gun is alot more practical than a smart bullet, and it's pretty easy to do with just a little refinement of several current technologies.
		It'd be interesting to know if it's possible to remove the gun from the arm and use it on a tripod or something: I'm not even sure it has a regular trigger and it certainly doesn't have a stock.
